my best friend came home from africa, i looked for a job, my family spent christmas together, i got offered a job, i made my first trip to colorado with laura boldt to see the arnolds, i took the job, i went to a summer camp staff reunion, i moved back to charleston, i started the job, i began learning about maritime forests and estuaries and seawhip corals and spotted salamanders and taking care of aquariums, i got into graduate school, and i'm now still trying to figure out the job, my life, my heart, what i think i need, what God says i need, what i want, what God wants, who i'm supposed to be...
but such is life.
God is so good, all the time. i am so thankful for Him and the things He is doing. i'm not always bursting with momentary happiness, but there is such true and incomprehensible joy in knowing Jesus. where His spirit is, there is freedom. from sin, from death, from the world.... His truth sets free, He breaks chains, even the ones i didn't know i had. God has not left me without a Redeemer, today or any day, for He has given me Jesus, the lamb who takes away the sins of the world.
"you are already clean because of the word which i have spoken to you." -john 15:3
